My family and I have been enjoying Charleston's for about 30 years. Never, not even once, have we ever had a negative experience. With the hallmark "Hal Smith Restaurant Group" service standard of excellence, Charleston's is a sure bet. The menu has something for every taste preference. And don't you dare forego the chicken tender platter because you think it's for kids only. Embrace your inner child and go for the tenders. Lean into your childhood order a chocolate milk with a bendy straw. Heck, tell them it's your birthday and have them bring you a balloon. Y'all...three decades of dining excellence. May your 30 year love affair begin today. read more

Great food and service. Sometimes a little too loud in the main dining area. Drinks are good, wines are just the basic selection.

Max and Ian are the best servers I've ever had! I love this restaurant, great food, drinks, ambiance, and service.

Wow! I live on the east coast and here on business and the food was amazing. The staff was spot on with everything as well as a great atmosphere. You won't go wrong eating here I highly recommend. Sidney at the bar was very attentive and fantastic read more

Went here to eat a few days ago and it was really good. I had the Hawaiian ribeye and it was spot on. The salads are always really good. They are known for their potato soup, but the past 4 times we've had it, it was very salty for some reason, so we don't get that any longer. Service has always been good. If you want a good steak in the Norman area, try this place! read more

The food here was very good and the service was great. Our only complaint and why I only gave 3 stars is that it was way overpriced.

Great quality food! Amazing dishes, love the ribs and carrot cake the best! Portion sizes are plentiful! read more

Saturday, May 18 at 1:00pm Family of 3 adults On our way from Texas to Seattle, we stopped here since it was close to the highway. We ordered the Salmon Caesar Salad ($18), Smoked Salmon Plate ($25), and the Dynamite Shrimp Salad ($13). Best Plate: The Dynamite Shrimp Salad! This dish was so good. There was plenty of shrimp, it was cooked well, crispy on the outside, and the textures and flavors paired with the cabbage slaw and sauce perfectly. Plus it was only $13! Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Pros: - Free Wifi!! - Extremely fast service (under 15 min)! - Everything we ordered was delicious. Not one thing tasted bad. Cons: - Expensive All in all, this was a good restaurant. Maybe a little too fancy for a stop on a road trip, but we enjoyed it! read more

Great food. Great seevice. Chicken tenders are amazing...don't forget the Keylime at the end it tops off the visit.

If you are looking for great service and amazing food, Charleston's is your resturant. Every server is helping every customer to get what they need. They have amazing salads and I love their Walt's chicken salad. You can sub salmon for chicken. Stakes and fried chicken tenders are among the best on their menu. read more

This Charleston's used to be the place to go in Norman for good quality food. We were there on May 31st 2024 with a party of 12 for dinner, most had an ok experience. However my brother ordered the BBQ Burger medium rare, it was so over cooked it was like a hockey puck. I myself decided to try for the first time the Prime Rib Sandwich, the bun was burned and hard as a rock and the meat was sawdust dry. The Norman Charleston's in the past several years has been steadily going downhill, pure garbage for the amount of money spent, we won't be back. My wife and I have been to many Hal Smith Restaurants over the years and have always been pleased. Red Rock is the bomb and we love The Garage. Hal I think this Norman location needs your special attention before the people managing it runs off your customers. Get a chef in the kitchen for your chef pricing. This food should have never left the kitchen. wake up! read more

The food is great, staff are very pleasant and helpful, atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, only problem are the prices, it's a bit pricey, but I still enjoy it! read more

This location has roaches. Saw them running around on the floor and wall near the kitchen area when we were there. Don't recommend eating here. read more

Always excellent and drinks are on point. Their employees are always so very helpful and knowledgeable about their food

Today we had a party of 8. We had to ask for things repeatedly. When the checks came one of the tickets had to be sent back 3 times. One of our party went to the restroom where there was no toilet paper. My friend had to call the restaurant from her cell phone to ask for toilet paper. When she came out of the restroom there was one of the waiters watching the soccer match. We have been very disappointed. read more

Consistency of quality food and service. Regularly go for lunch and dinner. All locations will not disappoint.

This location has really been our "go to" restaurant for family gatherings. It had been awhile since we had been due to COVID but we opted to meet there close to last Christmas. I made arrangement with Paul, the manager who assisted me, and he and the staff went above and beyond with their customer service. More importantly, our safety. It was a huge risk for myself which I have a weak immune system with my health AND my father a heart patient. That being said, our family have never had a bad experience here. Great atmosphere and great food! Every time my wife and i or my entire family attend this restaurant it's a HOMERUN. These days, it's incredibly RARE that you get that consistency in food and service. A very special and heartfelt THANK YOU to Paul and his amazing staff. read more

The Charleston salad was so good! I could eat it everyday for lunch for a week kind of good.

We had a group of 10. The service and food was perfect. I usually hesitate going in groups beyond 4, but it was a fun time. We had two children as well. We had drinks,, appetizers, burgers, catfish, and sandwiches. They split the bill up for 4 groups without any problem. Go and enjoy yourself. read more

Service is great. The chicken piccata is my favorite along with the carrots. Cocktails are made perfect.

Every part of the experience was excellent from the front door to the table and right back out. They had such a variety to choose from and everything was great. I had the filet, my husband had pork chops and my daughter had the ribs and we just ate off of each other's plates. It was all fabulous! And oh my goodness, those croissants, amazing! read more

Tulsa Yale store. Ordered to go, the KALE & QUINOA SALAD baby kale, quinoa, cabbage, grilled chicken, mint, green onion, cilantro, mango, green apple, dates, spiced pecans, honey-lime vinaigrette, peanut sauce. The chicken was torn up sliced deli meat, not much of anything but greens for $17! The SHRIMP CARGOT in herb garlic butter, havarti cheese was 6 tiny pieces of shrimp with a huge thick slice of havarti cheese torn into 4 pieces not even melted $14. The DYNAMITE SHRIMP SALAD was good but certainly not dynamite, not hot $14. The Key Lime Pie was ok but I've had better for less. Disappointed. In all fairness I had eaten all the little bits of yummy off the salad before I thot to take the picture. Im saving the deli meat and greens for a sandwich later. read more

Awesome food and even better service. Easily the best food along Interstate 35 from DFW to MSP. Great for a family stop.

We really enjoy going to Charlestons for lunch or dinner. The food and atmosphere are always wonderful !

Charleston's is one of those restaurants that just gets it right every single time. Whether it's a great steak, a platter of chicken tenders, or a champagne chicken salad, it's a phenomenal meal. The staff knows how to treat people as well. I've never been disappointed. read more

Easy fast and tasty. One can always count on consistency here. Large menu to select from.

Even the kids will eat with us adults. We all love the food here!! Everything is awesome and friendly at Charleston!

(3/5/2020) We met an old family friend for dinner during a reunion week. The place was bustling on a Wednesday night with the well-heeled of Norman. Had a few appetizers to split across the table, Queso (hot, salty, cheesy), Dynamite Shrimp, had a very tasty, creamy, mayo-based sauce with a crisp cabbage slaw. I had a perfectly rare, 10 oz. slice of prime rib. It had a well-seasoned, salty jus that complemented the steak. A side salad was very large, could've been it's own entree. Service was professional and efficient. We lingered for a long time, chatting, and catching up, but they did not rush us, even though the dining room was full. Dark wood, warm, old school steakhouse feel. Good for celebrations and business dinners. read more

Very clean, freindly. Had an amazing first date here with my now girlfriend. Staff was so polite and service was quick. read more

I'm down in OKC frequently and over the years I have been to Charleston's. It's a chain with your typical American dishes. I have got the ribs in the past and I did enjoy them but the lovely waitress 'Morgan' sold me on the special tonight with was a 'Hawaiian rib eye' with a baked potato and salad. The salad had sweet bacon dressing that was hard to pass by just by the name. It was yummy for sure Rib eye was a little bit fatty for my taste but it was tender. Cooked medium but a little more on the well side which luckily I prefer but I would get medium rare if you want it super pink It wasn't that cheap but it was worth it. Had a nice meal I can't complain as Charleston usually does the job I go there for. read more

Always goof food and the best service. We've never had any problems here, we come here a lot.

This restaurant has the BEST service. From the girl at the front to the time we left, we felt very welcomed. The food was excellent!! I ordered a flat bread pizza off the appetizer menu and it was huge. My husband ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. He said it was better than the Pioneer Womans. That's saying a lot for anyone. We liked it because the price was moderate, but fair. It was our first time there and can't wait to go back again. read more

We really enjoyed everything about Charleston's. The food was great, the atmosphere nice and the service was friendly and very fast. No sooner did a plate empty and someone would appear and take it from the table. I had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken, which was very good. Crisp and flavorful breading yet tender and juicy on the inside. Also at my table was the Fried Catfish, also very good and a Reuben Sandwich which did not disappoint. We would definitely return next time we're in Norman. diningoutdfw.com read more

We wanted someplace good to eat while on a 12 hour drive. We opted for Charleston's after reading reviews and looking at their gluten free menu. KUDOS on having spaghetti squash available, what a fantastic option, our waitress was so knowledgeable and I didn't even have to remind her "no croutons" she was on it. It was a nice quite dining experience with GREAT FOOD! We will definitely make this a regular dinner or lunch stop on our drives to Austin. read more

Charleston's is always a win! Went out my box and ordered enchiladas. Delicious! Someone in our group ordered Bang Bang shrimp...also a hit! Consistent, excellent service! read more

FANTASTIC SERVICE! Everybody was so nice, the waiters and waitresses were really positive, cheery, and honest. The two at the front were super welcoming and were great with the youngsters in our group. Really fun and awesome experience! Delicious food and amazing appetizers! Recommend their steaks and croissants. read more

This is a great restaurant. I come into Norman often from out of town and the service is always great. Everyone is super nice and the food is on point. I normally go basic with the over roasted chicken breast, baked potato and Caesar but everything is good. Highly recommend. read more

Food is always good and I've never had a waiter/waitress that wasn't good or "Johnny-on-the-spot". Prices are high but pretty much inline with anywhere you go nowadays. My go to meal is the pork chops blackened, mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. If there is a chance to have the bread pudding, go for it! Thanks for the great and consistent food and service Hal Smith Restaurants! read more
